Live from Oxford Trinity College
What happens when we look beyond the famous men of Oxford and uncover the women whose stories helped shape its history? In this special LIVE podcast from Trinity College, Oxford University, we explore the fascinating world of hidden women’s history, with a particular focus on Lady Elizabeth Pope, the remarkable woman founder connected to Trinity College. Lady Elizabeth Pope is a powerful example of how women’s contributions can become obscured by time, institutions, and traditional historical narratives. Her story opens the door to a wider conversation about the women who founded, funded, influenced, supported, and shaped educational and cultural institutions — even when their names have been left out of the spotlight. Recorded at the historic Trinity College, Oxford, this conversation brings together the atmosphere of one of the world’s great universities with a fresh look at the women behind its history. ️ In this live podcast, we explore: • The story of Lady Elizabeth Pope • Her role as a woman founder and her connection to Trinity College • The often-overlooked contributions of women to Oxford’s history • Why women’s stories have so frequently disappeared from traditional historical accounts • The importance of recovering and retelling hidden women’s history • What the history of Trinity College can reveal about women, education, power, patronage, and legacy • How discovering overlooked women can change the way we understand the past. Lady Elizabeth Pope’s story is not simply a story about one woman. It is part of a much larger history — one in which women played significant roles in shaping institutions, communities, intellectual life, and the cultural landscape, despite often receiving far less recognition than their male counterparts. Join us as we ask: Who are the women history forgot, and what changes when we finally tell their stories?
